Billy Anderson | The Bomb Hole Episode 198

No matter his career, Billy Anderson will always be a snowboarder at heart. And if his name doesn't ring a bell, we recommend listening very closely to this episode. It feels like an understatement to say that Billy has played a monumental role in snowboarding's development. He was a driving force behind Volcom: playing a major part in the creation of timeless video projects like "The Garden" and "Escramble", and has always made efforts to nurture local snowboard communities. Helping start and facilitate grassroots events like the legendary Peanut Butter Rail Jam and including grom segments in major video projects are just two examples of how Billy Anderson prioritized the cultivation of a healthy and thriving scene in snowboardings youth, our future pros.
